believers, what evidence do you have beyond your bible or koran, that man was made from dust?

Answer 1

maby cosmic dust before the big bang

Answer 2

most dead bodies are nothing more than dust and the ones that are not have been preserved or are becoming dust really quickly. Once the water is gone that's all you have left. The bones last longer and I suppose the enamel of the teeth the longest but everything which was once the body given enough time becomes dust.

Yes we are mostly water so we are made of dust and water. The water evaporates and the rest could probably fit in an ashtray.
Or an urn.

Answer 3

Actually, the English says 'dust'. The Hebrew refers to a clay and has a connotation of 'red' in it. But evidence to that other than what is written as far as I know is not found. It's not even close to why I believe in God though. It would rather be an interesting subject to discuss the clay that is red if there was anymore new input on it. But it's not a faith issue to me.

Answer 4

Take the water content out of the human body and see what you have left.
A pile of dust but a pile that contains the same elements and chemicals that make up the earth.
Iron, copper, magnesium, and so on.
These elements are in the foods we eat. We are all made of the same stuff.
And because we are so complicated, it points to a creator, rather than random chance.
Genesis 1;1 and 26

Answer 5

Well, just going from a dietary standpoint, we constantly need vitamins, minerals, and proteins which all come from the ground or things that grow out of it. OUr bodies are 60 - 70 percent water. When a human or animal dies, it's body decays and becomes part of the elements.

The original Batman movie from the sixties showed United Nations ambassadors become little piles of colored dust when all the water was vaporized from their bodies. It was quite funny.

Answer 6

Cmon, settle down, get back on your meds. Dust is a reference to the human body. We are all made of that dust. We are also made in the image of God but we can reject that. Our soul, an invisible essence, is in the image of God. Religion isn't what you think it is. Do your own investigation as if your hair was on fire. Don't miss your opportunity.

Answer 7

man was not made from dust silly! man was created from basically elements , what we would normally consider just dust . its sorta like saying he was made out of nothing into something. flesh . real . meaning out of nothing you can make something if you want. thats the power of faith. but also to remember when we die we will become sorta Biodegradable and basically dust ashes to ashes dust to dust we are flesh but our being is spiritual which lives on in spite of death there is the gift of life.,

Answer 8

Believers? Believers in What?

First there was the spirit (the first cause); then there was the action which withdrew spirit into itself; then there was the resulting individuality of God. God desired self-expression and desired companionship; therefore, God projected the cosmos and souls. First there was the spirit (the first cause); then there was the action which withdrew spirit into itself; then there was the resulting individuality of God. All things are a part of God and an expression of God's thought. The Mind of God was the force which propelled and perpetuated these thoughts. All minds, as thoughts of God, do everything God imagined. Everything that came into being is an aspect of the One Mind.

No dust there!

Answer 9

If you take "dust" to mean "small particles", this fits very well with abiogenesis, and it also offers an explanation as to how it happened in spite of the high improbability.

Answer 10

Im not sure I would call myself a believer but I can tell you that you can be a believer and not take that passage literally. It's just one of two creation stories in Genesis-just one author's view of God as creator, molder of humans ,as opposed to the other writer's view of God as orderly creator who created the earth in 7 days.
